South Beach Diet Vegetable Moussaka

Every once in a while I get a mood to cook something a little more involved and decided to try this recipe from a South Beach Diet cookbook.  Nothing about the preparation is difficult or tricky, just requires some time.  Little did I realize I would end up washing a cookie sheet, frying pan, saucepan and lid, large measuring cup, cutting board, cheese grater, nutmeg grinder, the garlic peeler and slicer, a whisk, assorted knives and stirring spoons.  My kitchen was disaster by the time I put the casserole in the over, but the results were worth it.  This recipe makes a hearty dish, layered with flavors and great for leftovers.  Yes, I’ll make it again someday.
